As promised, we wanted to provide a complete wrap-up from CES 2009. We had great presence and exposure at CES this year. We were very happy to see an unprecedented amount of CarPC's at the show this year and most of them were running Centrafuse. Most notably, Intel & Azentek, but there were several other companies with prototypes for CarPC's we were impressed with as well.

Dashboard Devices is developing a black box, amp-sized CarPC, called the ENV, packaged with 1-3 screens for a complete, multi-zone, rear-seat entertainment experience for the automotive aftermarket. This is a very impressive prototype with a significant amount of computing power (Intel's Core 2 Duo) packed inside an ultra-compact enclosure.

Yet another CarPC prototype running Centrafuse at the show this year came from Telemetria Technology, who were presenting their DashTop™ product in a drivable demo outside of the convention center.

We were also very impressed, blown-away actually, with the Focal and Steg-sponsored Volkswagen GTI from Jan Bennett. Jan is a longtime Centrafuse friend and award-winning audiophile.

Focal is an ultra high-end, audiophile-quality speaker company. Steg is competition-level Italian amplifier manufacturer with cutting-edge features. Jan demands only the best for her car audio system. Click the image to see some pics from her ride.

All in all, we were extremely pleased to see an increasing interest in car computing among the automakers, car audio aftermarket and consumer electronics companies at CES this year. We are confident that the product offering and technology behind CarPC's will continue to evolve and rich-experience solutions will begin to reach consumers in the near future.

Keep checking in with us for more news on the industry and our products. We're looking forward to a great year.
